I donβt think this is a real collapse. Itβs not as big of a drop as what it was after the first day of Russia attack on Ukraine. Itβs more like a slow rotting situationβ¦ too slow to stop the war before 2025.
No & here is the added rub. ruZZia thrives on everyone else doing predictable maneuvers geopolitically. They like to think they are unpredictable. Alas, Ukraine knows different. Drumpf is a bit random batshit daft, and likely lob a live grenade into the mix for kicks. ru's ass may be twitching.
Those are absolutely stunning, crazy stats. Russia is truly one of the worst countries in the world. It's crazy how much unearned credibility conservatives and evangelicals give them.
Majority of my peers are from single parent hoses, I know many people from my school that died from OD before 18 with some getting hooked on things like heroin by the age of 12, there about 4 graffitie adverts on being a deaddropper on my apartment building, less then 100 meters from school.
A few years ago children dying from od's tripled in one year and from there on they stopped posing statistics. Russia also just last year recognized an HIV epidemic that was going for years and nowadays we compete with worst of Africa having 1,5% infected.
It works in Russia as well. They use being pro family as a banner, but it's just about racism and replacement theory (it becomes very obvious when 70% of the comments under any post about migrationts contain slurs). A lot of Russians are very racist I would presume the same thing for US
Russia runs it's population counts on self-claimed ethnicities, real Russian population is something like 30% by now, ethnic Russians also have the lowest birthrates among all ethnic groups and Russian Nazis are both very angry about it and can't do anything as Putin increases migration goals yearly
Those Christmas bonuses from Vlad to dupes like Tucker Carlson, Tulsi Gabbard, Tommy Tuberville, JD Vance, Alex Jones, Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson are going to be worth less than the paper they're printed on.
Russia canβt pay for the war. Russia canβt produce wealth to keep up while all of its young men are dead, in hiding, or in Ukraine. They have super high inflation and interest rates, and they need N Korea and Iran to assist.
Doesn't matter if they swim in rub or not, it it's worthless, London will try and sell it asap, but they can't because the trade of rub is sanctioned in UK EU and USA
Other commenters don't really address why "now". We knew the war was expensive for a while, so what gives? The thing is, we don't know. But we can guess.
And my guess is that it comes down to terrible fundraising projections for Q4 and, 2025, a big trader losing their nerve, and other jumping after
I also saw a post from a BlueSky user about how tubberpuppy doesn't understand that a lot of the munitions that are sent to Ukraine are manufactured in AL
I will look for that post for attribution and would love it if someone can attribute and tag if they can. Thanks
I saw a study that shows how majority Russians support the invasion of Ukraine. So, yeah they are receiving the consequences of their choices as harsh as it sounds.
As if a person who lives in Russia has a choice for which they won't be imprisoned or killed.
There's a huge pro-putinistic propaganda going in our schools, they brainwash ppl since childhood. They taught us to be 'apolitical' and parrot the fascist ideology. Who ever deserves it?
Plus, the president's election was faked. Ppl aren't given a choice here. If they fight against it they, as i said, end up in prison or dead. Fear is strong... And unity is far away.
I dunno how you actually see numbers instead of people. Really.
Well this study does show that there are supports from Russians and Gallup World Poll is a private organization from what I can tell thus there are no coercion https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.00663
Alright, that may have came out harsh. I was trying to say most Russians are okay with it hence why no uprising is happening. This is purely based on the studies and reports I have seen. Sorry, I should have sounded so insensitive.
Scientists have already proven that these studies cannot be trusted (95% of people refused to respond, and the results show the remaining 5%).
Also, the studies you're referring to were conducted by the same source that says Crimea wanted to join Russia, so you got to trust both or discard both.
You didn't mention the second source in the study, which is Levada Center. What polling is like in Russia, including data from Levada and other sources, is discussed here, for example: https://youtu.be/9_0E9IzXT34
And here we have a fundamental misunderstanding of economics. They become bankrupt when they run out of reserves. Part of the reserves are rubles. Part of them is gold and other currencies. Their ruble holdings will soon be worthless and they are selling gold and other currencies to fund their war
Fundamentally wrong. Bank reserves are a result of previous government spending, they don't 'run out' of them. The Rouble is a fiat currency not on a 'gold standard'. The only way it could become 'worthless' is if it no longer can be redeemed for tax liabilities.
Not bank reserves but their sovereign wealth commonly referred to as national reserves. Which can run out quite easily. It is composed of gold (having nothing to do with the gold standard you referred to) their own currency and other currencies.
Not really. I just wanted to suggest that the US $ is not the be all and end all. In fact, I wonder if it might get interesting for the $ over the next 4 years. An interesting, bumpy ride, is probably coming up.
Crappy ruble - that is a happy thing. I think the same about any totalitarian monetary system. Weβll have to wait for about 4 years to see if any other country joins that elite group.
Israel / Lebanon cease fire. And the possible collapse of the Russian Empire AGAIN is quite the accomplishment Thank you POTUS @joebidenbsky.bsky.social
ha-ha... Didn't you think that the demand for foreign currency from Russian importers has increased now because they have started to circumvent sanctions again?
They never planned to pay them .. they gave them Nuclear weapons guidance system so the North can nuke Washington DC! Anyhow β¦ they bleed just as good as a RuZzian invaders
This has two different effects though. One is it makes any Imports they have to get harder or impossible because most people won't take rubles, but also paying soldiers and stuff on a currency that isn't worth anything that they can just print
actual humans suffer because of things like this, I don't understand celebrating suffering. the people you supposedly dislike aren't going to be impacted, and you know this.
Yeah these people think all the oligarchs are going to suffer but no, it's the already poor as shit civilians that will take the suffering. (I have a really good friend who is Russian, doesn't support their fascist government, and will be horribly impacted by this)
But dont forget who the agressor is; more Ukrainians are suffering everyday. And yes it is unfortunate for Russian citizens, but one can only hope they see WHY that is happening.
Letβs hope they learn from some 100 years ago and find revolution a possiblity.
Yeah, whatβs a few dead Ukrainian kids, whatβs a few dead Ukrainian women, whatβs a few dead Ukrainians in general? Fuck outta here with that logic. There is a war out there, primed and ignited by Putin, their βglorious leaderβ. Itβs not bout a lesson, itβs about a whole ass war, stupid
I mean the US drones the fuck out of so many children during *insert every middle eastern war here*, so I guess it's ok for random Joe Blow American Civilian to die as a response
I miss the time when they used to say βrather dead than redβ, not because of the commie hate, but because of Trump seeming rather friendly to Russia
The ruble at 288:1 USD by years end was my prediction 2 years ago. But it seems it will take another 6 months or a year to reach that value. At about 3100:1 USD Putin and the ruble will get replaced. What will the new Russian monetary unit be called? Zeble? Putski? Shitski?
1 Ruble is worth 0.89 cents - less than one penny.
I just bought 500 paper clips for $9.00 which equals about 1.8 cents per paper clip.
So, if you're a worker in Russia, it's literally better to be paid in paper clips than rubles... if you're interested on how the Russian economy is going.
Thatβs 1 indicator of whatβs happening . They will all be buying roubles and other currency that is falling due to the threats . UK Canada Mexico etc etc. as the dollar crashes 25 th of Jan the will make a killing,
A country can't exist indefinitely on an exclusive diet of lies. As the Soviet Union collapsed by refusing to admit Afghanistan was steadily bleeding them dry, Putinism will eventually collapse on itself, all it's money hoarded by oligarchs and an army full of untrained prisoners and North Koreans.
U too? Christ Jon Russia isnβt the enemy . U r BRAINWASHED! Too many on both sides r but after truly getting to truth, itβs not Russia we worry about! DAMN CMON!
Ur only enemy is each of our governments. This is what the neocons and neoliberals do! They lie and poke the bear over and over and then propagandize the populations and then get us on board for yet another war!
Itβs insane! BOTH SIDES r full of this
If u want the truth https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYkPg2cd/
Thatβs great but it doesnβt have impact inside RU as some might hope. Putin and his propaganda are selling that itβs better for RU as they get more rubles for the same export price. Internally they trade in rubles so their budget only grows on paper. RU people will
accept it as great achievement!
I feel bad for the ppl of Russia, especially given their political leaders have all their money abroad. That being said, it's long past time for them to remove said leaders, and forge a new path forward!
We thought DJT is going to collapse, Twitter is going to collapse and now Ruble, π as long greed is there in our capitalist society none of it will happen
As much as I disapprove of Putin, I can not feel joy over what the Russian people will experience anymore than I can over what we will experience under trump
Not great for all the people that will suffer as a result of economic collapse, but great in the sense that maybe the people will finally take russia back from the hands of tyranny and work to build something better. One can hope
So great to see that millions of innocent Russian civilians, men, women, and children all starve to death because they are trapped by a tyrannical government. Can't wait until it reaches zero, so all that's left for Russia is to go out in a nuclear rampaging crisis. π
One reason putin supported trump. Watch as we move to leave nato and deem russia too big to fail⦠let the fleecing of america begin( or continue, just out in the open)
US was afraid of Ruzzian #collapse since at least their losing war with Japan, long before they went nuclear. US prevention of collapse is partly what set the Japanese against us in #WW2. If we had let Ruzzia collapse then, WW2 may have never even happened as the #Kremlin conspired w/Germany
Our leadership today(2-21/25) is NOT lead by the guiding institutions of the times you are citing. The rule of law, the trust in world alliances, and stability vs chaos, are all going to be absent and perhaps forgotten.
If it causes them to stop supporting and enabling putlers mad regime, on the contrary I would say it is the best thing that could have happened to ruΟΟia
I'm not holding my breath, but these "heroic sheep" could try doing what the Ukrainians had the guts to do in 2014, or the French in 1789, or the Lybians in 2011, or what the Georgians are trying to get going now. (And I am pretty sure people in the kremlin have nightmares about the possibility.)
This good news might be short lived. Isnβt this man that was βselectedβ as POTUS suppose to roll back sanctions against Putin going to happen the moment he is sworn in?
Think he GAF? Unfortunately its the average joe that wears this. Decent sanctions enforced sanctions and sink the empty oil carriers he has to deny income might be more effective?
Itβs beginning to look like it might have backfired on him as the European countries have begun to to get much more involved in anticipation of the US pulling back.
The sad thing is, if it all goes straight to hell, and Putin has to run for his life . . . he'll run straight to Zurich, where he has a fortune stashed away, and it ain't in Rubles. And he'll probably live out a wealthy life and never pay for the pain he has caused on both sides of the border :-(
They have so much oil in Russia, they can still sell it for pennies. They might even get the wheat fields of Ukraine back to feed themselves sooner rather than later.
This kind of shit kills as many people as bombing campaigns but sure let's cheer on economic devastation of civilians while they die deaths of despair.
These people are soulless, they just like to pretend they have the moral high ground when they are really just demons themselves, in their own way. They cry about innocent civilian deaths on one side, then chear on something that will result in innocent civilian deaths on the other side.
Agression, in itβs own: feelings of anger; readiness to attack or confront.
But yeah, letβs stand by, watching them who attack Ukraine take it all. Itβs not an option, unfortunately. So yes, civvies are dying, but at the hands of their superior. The agressor is to held accountable.

White men and women just couldnβt vote for the black lady. Fucking morons
He is well aware what happened in 1917 in eerily similar circumstances

yesterday, 100 rubles = a dollar. Now it takes 109 rubles to make that same dollar.
In Jan. 2020, a ruble was worth 1.6 cents.
Today, it's less than a penny.
It won't be long before you need a wheelbarrow of rubles to buy a loaf of bread.
There will be complications, but if you try to speak facts, then goo all the way

and 100 years of spare tanks.
it thought it could win an attritional war.
yet it build 2 su-57 this year, half as many as they lost.
Inflation 49%
Lira to USD 1.35
But still going strong
Does that make you sad?
Happily the ruble does catastrophic against all of the currencies in the world. Like every single one.
2) Russians refuse to join military
3) Russia is broke
But dont forget who the agressor is; more Ukrainians are suffering everyday. And yes it is unfortunate for Russian citizens, but one can only hope they see WHY that is happening.

The Russian Central Bank had to throw itself into the dumpster fire, after it passed 115 Rb to 1 $US.
Going to be an interesting end of 2024 for Pootie and his Blowfish

He invested everything in that direction with online trolls, fake accounts and election fraud.
But he was able to fool and use the MAGA morons.
